"Giving me the Yin Scroll of the Great Pagoda Art won't have any effect on elder sister Ling Xi, right?"
Although the complete version of the Great Pagoda Art caused Mu Chen to be extremely moved, he still maintained some calm as he inquired. He was somewhat afraid that Ling Xi would do something that would harm her and benefit him again. Even if he obtained that kind of power, it would still make him feel uncomfortable and unhappy.
Upon hearing this, Ling Xi smiled faintly and shook her head. Warmth surged within her beautiful eyes as she replied, "Don't worry, this is something that Aunt Jing has instructed me to do. Even if you don't believe me, you should at least believe in Aunt Jing, right?"
Only then did Mu Chen nod his head. After some thought, he muttered, "Why don't I also give the Yang Scroll of the Great Pagoda Art to elder sister Ling Xi?"
With regards to the matter of Ling Xi cultivating the Yin Scroll of the Great Pagoda Art, he felt a slight knot in his heart. Although he and his mother did not treat Ling Xi as his servant, the Yin Scroll of the Great Pagoda Art would always be somewhat suppressed when facing the Yang Scroll of the Great Pagoda Art. Mu Chen did not wish to make Ling Xi uncomfortable by relying on such a thing.
Ling Xi still shook her head, sweetly smiling as she replied, "No need, I know what you're thinking. Don't worry, I won't let my imagination run wild in the future. Furthermore, not everyone can cultivate the Yang Scroll of the Great Pagoda Art. It requires a bloodline, and I don't have the bloodline of that clan. If I were to cultivate the complete version of the Great Pagoda Art, it wouldn't be a good thing for me."
"Alright, then I'll have to trouble elder sister Ling Xi."
Upon hearing this, Mu Chen gave up on this thought. Soon after, he impatiently asked, "Shall we start now?"
Ling Xi rolled her eyes at him and replied, "Why are you in such a hurry? You've only bitterly cultivated for three months. First rest and adjust your condition. We'll start tomorrow.
With a mischievous chuckle, Mu Chen nodded his head and replied, "Alright, I'll return to the freshman area first. I'll come find elder sister Ling Xi tomorrow."
Ling Xi lightly bit her lower red lips with her pearly white teeth, before softly saying, "Luo Li isn't in the freshman area, so there's no one to take care of you if you go back. Rest here today, I'll have Sun 'er help you tidy up your room."
As she spoke, a faint blush appeared on Ling Xi's face. She clearly had some mysophobia, and was rather indifferent towards men. Normally, even if Dean Tai Cang and the rest wanted to look for her, they would only send a voice transmission outside the courtyard, and would not enter. Furthermore, she would not invite them. Over the years, the only male that could enter this courtyard was Mu Chen. Vacating her room to let a male stay was something that had never happened before.
However, when facing Mu Chen, she was clearly different from how she treated other people. The bright and clear eyes of the youth before her seemed to be able to weaken the wariness in her heart. Perhaps this was because of Aunt Jing, but she was also clear that she rather liked the leisurely and warm feeling she got from being together with him.
Upon hearing this, Mu Chen gawked for a moment, before hesitantly replying, "Won't that be bad?"
Although she was rather mysterious within Hokuang Reiwon, and did not like to show her face, some of the older students who had been in Hokuang Reiwon for a long time still knew of her existence. In fact, in the past, there were even quite a few self-proclaimed outstanding students that had been infatuated with her, and had attempted to woo her. However, all of them ended up in vain, as the latter was too dazzling. Being able to become an elder of Hokuang Reiwon at such a young age, and even Dean Tai Cang had to give her face, her eyesight was definitely extremely high. How could mere hotheads from Hokuang Reiwon catch her eye?
Shooting a glance at him, Ling Xi straightened her lovable face and said, "What's bad about big sister taking care of little brother?"
Since Ling Xi had said so, Mu Chen naturally did not dare to say anything else. Scratching his head, he agreed. All these years, Ling Xi had always been alone. Although she appeared to be ice-cold on the outside, it was clear that she was rather lonely in her heart. Now that she had finally met someone that she could trust and trust, it would be good for him to accompany her more.
Seeing that Mu Chen had agreed, a sweet smile appeared on Ling Xi's face. Her tender and alluring smile caused even the beautiful flowers around the bamboo house to pale in comparison.
Within the hazy Spiritual Aura world, it was completely silent. In this place, even the wind seemed to have frozen due to the terrifying Spiritual Energy suppression, causing the entire world to appear monotonous and heavy.
At this moment, within a certain mountain valley within this Spiritual Aura world, Spiritual Liquid flowed down the mountain peak, forming a gigantic Spiritual Liquid lake within the mountain valley. A faint Spiritual Mist rose from within, causing this place to appear as faintly discernible as a fairyland. Frightening Spiritual Energy fluctuations radiated from within the lake.
This entire lake was formed from the condensation of pure Spiritual Energy. The Spiritual Liquid within it weighed a thousand catties, sufficient to crush a mountain into dust.
Whoosh.
Clear splashing sounds rang out from the edge of the lake. As the Spiritual Liquid split apart, a graceful and beautiful figure surfaced from within the lake. Her long hair, as bright and resplendent as the Milky Way, spread out on the surface of the water, appearing exceedingly dazzling. Under her long hair, was an exquisite and lovable figure akin to suet jade. As the Spiritual Liquid dripped onto her lovable figure, it flowed down along her smooth skin, causing ripples to appear within the lake.
Although half of her lovable figure was hidden within the water, one could still faintly see her perfect silhouette. The young lady's towering chest, along with her graceful snow-white ravine, was more than sufficient to dazzle any male. However, such a beautiful scene was clearly not something that any male would be fortunate enough to witness. The only person that was fortunate enough to do so was not present.
Raising her exquisite and lovable face, Luo Li gently exhaled a fragrant breath. At this moment, her fair and jade-like skin was suffused with waves of scarlet red. This was due to the mountain-like pressure of the Spiritual Liquid while she was training in this place.
"Luo Li, this time, you've endured for a full three days …" All of a sudden, a gentle voice rang out from the side. Tilting his head, Luo Li saw Su Xuan's lovable figure within the lake not far away. The latter's lovable figure was also curvaceous, her well-developed snow-white figure was sufficient to cause people to have a nosebleed.
Looking at Luo Li with a grin, Su Xuan's beautiful eyes roamed around the latter's lovable figure, before giving a soft praise. Although the two of them had been training together during this period of time, every time she saw Luo Li's perfect figure, due to the competitive mentality between girls, she would involuntarily let out a sigh of praise. Regardless of appearance, figure or temperament, a girl like her was rather perfect.
"Senior sister Su Xuan has also persisted for quite a long time." said Luo Li with a faint smile.
"I can only persist for a day at a time. However, I've heard that Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong have persisted for two days. However, they can't compare to you."
Su Xuan shook her head. The lake here was completely formed from the Spiritual Liquid, and was extremely heavy. Since they needed to reach the bottom of the lake, they had to endure the weight of several mountains while training. Under such circumstances, one would generally not be able to persist for long. Therefore, they would have to leave the bottom of the lake every once in a while to regulate their breathing. If not, their bodies would not be able to endure it.
During the past few days of training, Luo Li's performance was far too outstanding. No one could have imagined that this seemingly frail young girl would actually possess such tenacity. Su Xuan was extremely clear that after reaching one's limit, every minute at the bottom of the lake was sufficient to drive one crazy. However, no one could have imagined that Luo Li would actually be able to persist for three days at a time.
This result was something that even Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong were unable to match up to.
Naturally, they weren't training at the same place as Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong. At this moment, Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong were currently training at another Spiritual Liquid lake several miles away.
Luo Li smiled without saying a word. Cupping the Spiritual Liquid with her jade-like hands, she gently rubbed her jade-like skin that had turned red due to the terrifying pressure at the bottom of the lake. At this moment, she was thinking about how Mu Chen's training was progressing. It should have been over three months by now, right?
Although the training within the Door of the Northern Heavens was extremely bitter, she knew that Mu Chen's training shouldn't be as easy as theirs.
Thinking about that, the young girl gently bit her rosy lips, before saying towards Su Xuan, "Senior sister Su Xuan, I'll go and train for a while longer."
"You're still going?"
Su Xuan was startled as she swam towards Luo Li. Faintly knitting her eyebrows, she said, "Isn't your training a little too crazy? You've just come out, and you're going back in again? How can you endure it?
Back then, within the Door of the Northern Heavens, there was a Senior who couldn't endure it, and insisted on persisting. In the end, he nearly became a cripple … "
"Don't worry, Senior sister Su Xuan. I know what I'm doing," replied Luo Li in a soft voice.
"Why are you so desperate?"
Said Su Xuan in a somewhat helpless tone. She never imagined that Luo Li would actually be so desperate once she started training. During this period of time, Shen Cangsheng and his group had been stimulated quite badly by her. Being men, their perseverance was something that even Luo Li couldn't match up to. This caused them to feel extremely embarrassed. Therefore, all of them were clenching their teeth and training with all their might, in an attempt to catch up to Luo Li.
There were times when Su Xuan was exceedingly puzzled by Luo Li's desperate actions. She was able to sense that Luo Li wasn't a girl that placed extreme importance on strength. In fact, she was rather easy to satisfy. However, it was precisely this kind of character of hers that caused her to be exceedingly serious and persistent in her training.
Luo Li smiled. Naturally, she could explain the matters of the Luo God Clan to Su Xuan in detail. The responsibility on her shoulders was too heavy. The millions and millions of citizens of the Luo God Clan were all waiting for her, the future Empress, to save them. Furthermore … there was also him, that handsome face and bright and clear eyes, the youth that made her heart secretly fall for him …
He told her that he would become an unrivalled expert and stand before her, shielding her from the wind and rain.
Towards him, she had always believed in him. However, she understood that the path to becoming an unrivalled expert was filled with thorns that could cut a person's body black and blue. She liked Mu Chen's smile, which was filled with self-confidence. Therefore, she was a little afraid that the thorns on the path to becoming an unrivalled expert would slowly grind away the smile that she liked …
Therefore, she also needed to work hard. If she was able to increase her strength by a notch, Mu Chen would be able to relax by a notch. She wasn't a girl who liked to see the person she liked continuously putting in so much effort for her, while she didn't do anything.
Mu Chen, I know that you've also endured many things. However, I will also help you.
Who asked me to like you so much?
